Trouble Shooting

NOTE: Certain axle and driveline symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings, tires, and other parts of the vehicle. For this reason, be sure that the cause of the concern is in the axle before disassembling, adjusting or repairing the axle.
NOTE: Certain drive shaft vibration symptoms are common to the Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD), the engine, transmission or tires. Be sure the cause of the concern is the drive shaft before repairing or installing a NEW drive shaft.
NOTE: Certain symptoms may be caused by Traction-Lok(R) differentials. Check the vehicle certification label and axle identification tag to determine the type of differential. See appropriate DIFFERENTIALS & AXLE SHAFTS article.
